    US, British militaries launch massive retaliatory strike against
    Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen

    The U.S. and British militaries bombed more than a dozen sites used by
    the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen on Thursday, in a massive
    retaliatory strike using warship- and submarine-launched Tomahawk
    missiles and fighter jets, U.S. officials said. The military targets
    included air defense and coastal radar sites, drone and missile
    storage and launching locations, they said.

    Here we go again...

    Sending that Blinken fella around the middle-east and having him talk
    about "regional security" clearly worked wonders!

    Poor Greta will be crying at all that unnecessary use of an airline
    and the pollution those flights caused...

    Does she include body counts in her clean air calculations?

    Blinken fella around the middle-east

    US, et.al., attempted for several weeks to dissuade Iranian-backed
    Houthis from using their fireworks.

    Several shipping companies are no longer using that passageway.

    Is this the objective the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen is wanting
    to accomplish?
